Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.0 shipped with a mechanism that packages pure Common Lisp extensions in an JVM artifact ("abcl-contrib-1.0.1.jar") which can be loaded by the CL:REQUIRE mechanism operating on the symbol named ABCL-CONTRIB.

JSS 3 no longer has the dependencies on these artifacts, having rewritten the necessary primitives in Common Lisp. As part of this re-engineering, we have packaged all the JSS functionality in its own package. If you wish to ensure compatibility with existing JSS 1 code then invoke JSS:ENSURE-COMPATIBILITY to import the expected JSS symbols into CL-USER.
